Push the timer down to activate it. Haven't yet figured out the fireplace yet. Seems to be broken as everything else works fine.

I could not figure that out either-- but my 8 year-old Granddaughter had no trouble finding it! I think the button is on the side of the fireplace-- not sure about the stove. Children usually know where everything is! Good luck!!

If the batteries are in, then it is just broken. That is how ours came too....the stove button worked. The fireplace should make a sound by holding down the same button the raises the TV.

Touching start should cook it. Just put in the time first, then touch start. Did you set the clock first. If so, and it will not cook, return it.

The instructions tell that it is normal to make a crackling noise as it heats up.

We used the table last night. I have a wok I put on top iof the flame and cook in it. This is a better table than the more expensive ones. I know. I have one of those in NC. We added more lave rock and logs. After it's been buring for about 20 minutes they all start to glow and radiate heat. We actually have to turn it down. Hope this helps you. It's a great table but I'd buy extra gravel and a set of logs.

There is two things that I noticed that control the sound. Answering the yes/no prompt when setting the timer, and the black volume control on the side of the base. Maybe this will help.

I'm not aware of a button which will release a crackling sound. I have not seen the video and mine does not have sound affects.

Sound like ignitor is not creating any spark for the butane to light. I would consider returning it.

I purchased the same heater last year and had the same problem. It looked like the gas wasn't blowing up on the spark close enough to get it ignited. I had to lean down and lightly blow between the spark and the end where the gas comes out. That got it lit.

Some times the crackling noise just means it needs to be cleaned. However, I did have a different crackling noise start on mine a little while back, and when I took it in for service, they had to replace some kind of electrical box inside the unit. It was covered under the warranty, so it didn't cost anything, but it was a fire hazard. So if cleaning the unit doesn't stop the crackling, don't wait--go ahead and take it in for service.

You may need to clean it again. Besides the main piece, there's a smaller rod that pulls up that also needs to be wiped clean. Since it can't be removed for cleaning, I use one of those electrostatic dusters. The first time I noticed the crackling sound, I cleaned only the main part and the crackling continued. Once I cleaned that smaller rod, it stopped. Hope that's helpful.

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

Without actually seeing the device it is hard to tell why it won't ignite. I woukd offer the same advice as below and try taking out the cartrudge and reinstalling it, then try to ignite it. Maybe the unit is worn out if you hsve had it a while. Usually it is something simple so ask a friend to try it from scratch. Hope you get it resolved. My wife loves hers. Ask for a new for Xmas. Have a happy holiday.

I don't know what you're supposed to do, since I've lost the instructions. But here's what I do: I load it up with pellets, sometimes with small chips mixed in. I put it down horizontally, and use a propane torch for ten seconds or so to start it, on the open end. Sometimes I'm too enthusiastic with the torch, and it starts emitting flames. In this case I try to blow the fire out, which often doesn't work, so I give it a small spray of water. After that, it almost always stays lit by itself until the pellets are consumed (2-3 hours), emitting ridiculous amounts of smoke. I suppose it helps that it's inside a grill, where it's between 250 and 400 degrees most of the time.Hope this helps! I don't know what you're supposed to do, since I've lost the instructions.

It has not happened to us. Maybe the computer chip is defective. Contact Cuckoo. It is possible to unplug the cooker and wait 10 seconds then plug in and restart. If that does not work then contact cuckoo.
